A Unique Experience Refined by Nature at Malagos Davao

Davao City is one of the bustling big cities in the Philippines. It's a colorful Land of Promise located in Mindanao that boasts not only white sand and clean beaches, abundant mountains but also cool and exclusive nature resorts. If you're cramped and too filled-up to travel for a few hours to other destinations, there are a few locations you need to check out for a fast weekend getaway.

One of which is Malagos Garden Resort. I was one of the lucky few who was able to check them out first when they reopened last November, right before the city reverted back to General Community Quarantine. Unfortunately, they had to close once again for a week to clear up things and make sure that they’re following protocols. Now you might have all heard about them as the usual field trip destination when we were kids (Hello Batang 90s!), but more than that, they are also a Davao staycation hotel and resort where the entire family is welcomed with safe, sustainable, and healing experiences refined by nature.

Safe - Cashless, contactless, and convenient: the moment you set foot inside the resort premises, have confidence that they’ve enhanced their safety protocols to ensure you and your loved ones only #SafeExperiencesAtMalagos

Green Spaces for Your Mental Health

Bodies of water have a lot of health benefits. Bodies such as lakes, rivers, ponds, seas, oceans, and springs have always been considered a source of physical and mental nourishment. These resources do not only provide our basic needs but as well as improvements in our physical and emotional well-being. Living near one can give a very positive effect on our overall disposition.  Take a look at some of the major benefits below to see how water bodies can significantly enhance your lives.

Lowers stress levels - stress can be caused by many things including prolonged isolation, which can in turn develop to bigger health issues. With water bodies, we can effectively cope up with and lower our stress levels. This can be achieved by exercising in water or arranging activities that center around bodies of water like picnics, yoga, walks, and more.

Stimulates and enforces the immune system. Frequently submerging in natural water bodies is a great way to stimulate and reinforce our immune system. Bacterias grow freely in natural water bodies, and although it may seem like they pose a threat, they actually help your immune system. Constant exposure to chemicals such as chlorine, hormones, and pesticides found in our food tends to hinder our immune system. Exposing ourselves to weak bacteria serves our immune system as a simulation and can help raise antibody count.

Releases endorphins. Water bodies are known to increase our endorphin levels. Carrying out a physical activity near water can significantly improve our endorphin count. These chemicals are important because they help reduce pain and give a feeling of euphoria. With which, we can fight off depression, anxiety, and improve our sleeping patterns, stabilize our blood pressure, and enhance the workings of our immune system.

Water is known as the elixir of life. It contributes a lot not only to our physical health but also to our mental state. If you have the chance, it’s best to visit resorts in Davao with natural elements such as green spaces and water bodies after being exposed to a lot of stressors brought about by the pandemic. Davao’s best resort, Malagos Garden, has a lot of water bodies that are ideal for your mental health.
